STATUS_CTX_INVALID_WD

The Terminal Connection driver entry is invalid

A Terminal Connection or WinStation driver is part of the session host infrastructure that creates and manages interactive sessions. This status points to server-side RDS component state rather than to credentials or application launch failure.

It is most useful when a listener exists but session creation fails early. The right evidence is service and component initialization, not only RDP client error text.

What to inspect

  • Check Remote Desktop Services role installation and listener configuration.
  • Review TermService startup events and any recent driver or hardening changes.
  • Determine whether local console sessions work while remote WinStation creation fails.
